Just past a year.

Should've posted an update on the anniversary - I blew it.

Shane's pumpin iron & getting "fat" - for a skinny kid. Buffin' up.

Michelle's holding her own - a very staunch Lady! Would never know unless told.

Christmas with them & the grandkids was a true blessing.

A year later & who woulda thunk?

Seems their house - a 2-story-thing - has a pair of red boxing gloves mounted over a "KEEP ON FIGHTING" plaque just outside all the bedroom doors & above the descent towards the "living level."

Seems those gloves have made a huge impression on this family.

& friends, neighbors & just plain lurker-types, if you look back in this thread's chronology, you'll find that those gloves may have turned the tide for my "adopted" son's life.

Such an expression of a human touch.

I'm in awe of someone to bother to find, purchase, mail - do all those little things to make such a huge difference to someone they've never known - other than by a sig-line over an electronic media.

So very significant

The Gloved One wishes to remain secret & what can one do but honor that?

Thanks, GO, & to all who chimed in on a rather trying, but blessed road - all told.

Jeez.... I feel like a real doofus, and an ucaring lout.

I missed this entirely.

So happy all is well. I will continue to keep you in my thaughts.

16 months & Shane's in a severe rejection-mode.

We don't know yet to what extent - could be just steroids, or another total heart transplant .... we're still not sure & time will tell .....

Broken hearts here for such a huge successs - I canot be more sad .....
